Hi there,

I am using one FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine to talk to the network
provider using ppp.  I have routed and named running on this
FreeBSD machines.  I have a network of NT and WfWg machines.

When I try to ping the outside world using my NT machine, the
ping reports the correct Internet address of the ping target.
The problem is that the ping never gets out.

What is that I am missing here?  The NT machines are set to use
the FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 as gateway.  Do I have to run gated on the
FreeBSD machine?  If I do, where is the executables for FreeBSD
1.1.5.1?

Any help is most appreciated.  Thanks,

Chie-Jin
